I want to use mb_user_meta & mb_rest_api.
I purchased mb_user_meta. and I followed example code on https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-user-meta/
and I can see the proper page in admin and I can update the mb value on that page.

but I can not update my user MB data with rest-api.

Below is my Server code.
```
add_action( ‘rwmb_meta_boxes’, ‘prefix_register_meta_boxes’ );
function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
$meta_boxes[] = array(
‘id’ => ‘personal’,
‘title’ => ‘Personal Information’,
‘type’ => ‘user’, // Specifically for user
‘context’ => ‘normal’,
‘priority’ => ‘high’,

    'fields' => array(
        array(
            'name'  => 'test mb for user',
            'desc'  => '',
            'id'    => 'test4',
            'type'  => 'string',
        ),
    )
);
```
and this is trying & result page from POSTMAN.

fail update

PS.
meta-box version: 4.17.0
mb_meta_user version: 1.2.3
mb_rest_api: 1.3.2

When I try with POSTMAN I logged in admin role user.
I checked there is no problem to update other type(Post)’s MB data.

Only problem in updating “user” type.
I checked “activate” of my mb_user_meta plugin.

I tried to find any errors from php-error.log or php-fpm-error.log.
but didn’t find anything.

Hi Jiro, please change the code for meta boxes to:
```
add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_meta_boxes' );
function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id' => 'personal',
        'title' => 'Personal Information',
        'type' => 'user', // Specifically for user
        'fields' => array(
            array(
                'name'  => 'test mb for user',
                'desc'  => '',
                'id'    => 'test4',
                'type'  => 'text',
            ),
        )
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}
```
Your code has 2 issues:
- The type of the field should not be string, it’s text.
- The function doesn’t return $meta_boxes.
I’ve just made a test with Postman and here is the result:

Thanks for your effort, but I found something strange.
As your kindly support, that was not working with me.

Instead of that in MB-REST-API…

I found ‘$field’ has wrong value. in 198 line of class-mb-rest-api.php
```
foreach ( $data as $field_id => $value ) {
            $field = rwmb_get_registry( 'field' )->get( $field_id, 'user' );
            $this->update_value( $field, $value, $object->ID );
        }
```
and I change the code like below and everything works fine.
```
foreach ( $data as $field_id => $value ) {
            $field = rwmb_get_registry( 'field' )->get( $field_id, 'user', 'user' );
            $this->update_value( $field, $value, $object->ID );
        }
```
The code which I used for MB user meta is below.
```
<?php
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_meta_boxes' );

function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'title' => 'Personal Information',
        'type' => 'user', // Specifically for user

        'fields' => array(
            array(
                'name'  => 'test mb for user',
                'desc'  => '',
                'id'    => 'test5',
                'type'  => 'text',
            ),
        )
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}
```
and when I print var_dump(rwmb_get_registry( ‘field’ )).
it printed out as like below. as you can see there is “user” under the “user”.
So strange, isn’t it?

I never modify any Metabox source code in before includes (mb-rest-api, mb-user-meta,…)

imgur is so strange in this moment. anyway,
var_dump pritns…
```
object(RWMB_Field_Registry)#4507 (1) {
  ["data":"RWMB_Field_Registry":private]=>
  array(3) {
    ["user"]=>
    array(1) {
      ["user"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["test5"]=>
        array(33) {
          ["size"]=>
          int(30)
          ["maxlength"]=>
.......
```

Hi Jiro, you’re right about the missing user in the update_user_meta call. I’ve just added that fixed.

Regarding the var_dump, it’s not strange as the field registry (where all fields are stored) is structured like this:
```
object_type
  specific_type
    field 1
    field 2
```
For posts, object_type is post and specific_type is post type. For terms, it’s term and taxonomy. For users, as there’s no specific type, we use user and user.
